Sam’s P.O.V: 368Please respect copyright.PENANA7DxvRaiRIA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAWdbKfnxJMz
368Please respect copyright.PENANALxhdJkhuyl
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.368Please respect copyright.PENANASqIJqhjaci
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXEPXD4nuak
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqjCuHy5X4P
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAXImMX0QAfY
368Please respect copyright.PENANAYN0OTusPtF
368Please respect copyright.PENANAcJL9hzqDD2
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."368Please respect copyright.PENANAzXOiivNdgZ
368Please respect copyright.PENANATQ4yILaXXY
368Please respect copyright.PENANAK2mY3yXN1G
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."368Please respect copyright.PENANAtaAPLxajf1
368Please respect copyright.PENANAEug9ML17Wf
368Please respect copyright.PENANA87oC6ceZZq
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.368Please respect copyright.PENANAJND8za3ma5
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXHj9WAWXb0
368Please respect copyright.PENANAoGxlK8TCgW
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAbYO56Ghje7
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPJQ86eyI0m
368Please respect copyright.PENANAaSUASNLRZT
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."368Please respect copyright.PENANArIuCHKrKVr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPVRLD8FbrN
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4MY7zAM383
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.368Please respect copyright.PENANAMfPfnNe4yx
368Please respect copyright.PENANAP2f9S2GMYN
368Please respect copyright.PENANAl8splGDb7o
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAXpTBxtT8cq
368Please respect copyright.PENANAvIlV00LDnl
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJ948BB4LPd
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.368Please respect copyright.PENANApyKHP22UzH
368Please respect copyright.PENANA03Hc0XKtqJ
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJEjEiNN8G8
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."368Please respect copyright.PENANAkY2oEgOl6c
368Please respect copyright.PENANAq3ZpOZIauT
368Please respect copyright.PENANASzMKBtRyfo
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 368Please respect copyright.PENANAXTf16efnch
368Please respect copyright.PENANAlb8kCFLsg5
368Please respect copyright.PENANAd3Udq2Qu9l
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."368Please respect copyright.PENANAOmuEQSHvml
368Please respect copyright.PENANAoWN24kxZsH
368Please respect copyright.PENANAkguB4dVfz1
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"368Please respect copyright.PENANA6WNiYOHZEM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFASUPimDyH
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPdDWiVpkl1
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.368Please respect copyright.PENANAHR6PCtYsXR
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxOgBuoNmbT
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6LmAQlSnxa
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.368Please respect copyright.PENANAkZQ249Wuad
368Please respect copyright.PENANADJmcibZKQM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPFNfe0sQHZ
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."368Please respect copyright.PENANAO2DQe0wwVD
368Please respect copyright.PENANAA5OajjiUm3
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPBoeFFFQx9
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.368Please respect copyright.PENANACekI8q4j7q
368Please respect copyright.PENANACPpDJqJkHJ
368Please respect copyright.PENANAeykNPEofnV
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."368Please respect copyright.PENANA195y71vLmV
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFIH2HyIoYM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAVybr6GaPTC
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."368Please respect copyright.PENANA1BI3be6yMf
368Please respect copyright.PENANATDP7al0ruH
368Please respect copyright.PENANADeyyOM5bDL
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.368Please respect copyright.PENANAQHRunJxrKP
368Please respect copyright.PENANAMSNah1Lxre
368Please respect copyright.PENANAYxwYUsfOJy
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."368Please respect copyright.PENANAVe1kKivzO9
368Please respect copyright.PENANALCwpYIy3hr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAof9t2a1rc3
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."368Please respect copyright.PENANAJMX2vvZrr0
368Please respect copyright.PENANA1zohTF0y4g
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ9RESLeM8
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."368Please respect copyright.PENANAk9bVh2g8dA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqRzZyxvWWB
368Please respect copyright.PENANAuHYWlgoHEW
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.368Please respect copyright.PENANAEMUfejxDAV
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJGsV10hlFm
368Please respect copyright.PENANA8jutceZvgi
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.368Please respect copyright.PENANAimsf8QWbof
368Please respect copyright.PENANAOYAqbSR2pD
368Please respect copyright.PENANAThwIQxjGLI
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.368Please respect copyright.PENANAAiVaMeUEQr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAitdCShTKmT
368Please respect copyright.PENANA1h84MijIDJ
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyI5pky1sZI
368Please respect copyright.PENANAwMrcvgpfUe
368Please respect copyright.PENANAc6ufN69za7
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.368Please respect copyright.PENANAx3L3p1Mrey
368Please respect copyright.PENANAo9lXLsAbJd
368Please respect copyright.PENANAGltmjNJJ6Q
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.368Please respect copyright.PENANAu1IIMc9SMW
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJYZ5BFKsXg
368Please respect copyright.PENANAagBpuD4eMW
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.368Please respect copyright.PENANAkOCDgaEtzZ
368Please respect copyright.PENANA0KPsGL0Ybe
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFhBy8qQ0PP
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."368Please respect copyright.PENANA0ss44yPaO4
368Please respect copyright.PENANAWvbDDgZ1LL
368Please respect copyright.PENANA7qhdYIp2AT
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.368Please respect copyright.PENANALOCjaNklSQ
368Please respect copyright.PENANAhF7d4xESqJ
368Please respect copyright.PENANAfV7Vqqx6xW
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.368Please respect copyright.PENANAI6QxSOVNtc
368Please respect copyright.PENANA2rwcZEg7SM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAcbxXjIgO90
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"368Please respect copyright.PENANA0k0S1NGTsl
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4ftQUMhHrS
368Please respect copyright.PENANABsOm9tqasY
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?368Please respect copyright.PENANAqvGoCxXjxc
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqSWwjCePqG
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbkcH2gQbn3
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."368Please respect copyright.PENANAWcdg5C7Bvz
368Please respect copyright.PENANAsW6yBJFZuk
368Please respect copyright.PENANASZOmhPhdaD
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."368Please respect copyright.PENANAFuPDN41HNN
368Please respect copyright.PENANA47FMHiu7et
368Please respect copyright.PENANAYD7fJ1yxxx
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."368Please respect copyright.PENANABvws5N9noF
368Please respect copyright.PENANAlZJINy6J0j
368Please respect copyright.PENANAA5SdKR3U0B
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."368Please respect copyright.PENANAdRGTgfgWEW
368Please respect copyright.PENANAubJaePnvpl
368Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bkp6dBFBq
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.368Please respect copyright.PENANAvjeGYFTxES
368Please respect copyright.PENANAHpz3qplhG1
368Please respect copyright.PENANASx2HRl0iXf
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.368Please respect copyright.PENANASFJRWovht6
368Please respect copyright.PENANATs03RWalfO
368Please respect copyright.PENANApCrnDkZtXZ
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."368Please respect copyright.PENANAOlZJLm9eVz
368Please respect copyright.PENANASE78vdFGjq
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxOJnUH6YIH
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.368Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ6L4qC8Nm
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqJbhPWTa5W
368Please respect copyright.PENANAAssxBB0pVb
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.368Please respect copyright.PENANApRivAeyptO
368Please respect copyright.PENANAmXJ1HNjv0o
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXYMHwf4lyx
"It looks lovely," I commented.368Please respect copyright.PENANAwfWllo7OvO
368Please respect copyright.PENANA9OXPMuoNJ3
368Please respect copyright.PENANAIukpVz1Pat
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.368Please respect copyright.PENANAIAXa9y0YSz
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXEtqsvYVMx
368Please respect copyright.PENANADFhUGUu3Gj
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.368Please respect copyright.PENANAEphPi0WVRL
368Please respect copyright.PENANAoj0iIYvE6Z
368Please respect copyright.PENANANRts7PdbDU
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."368Please respect copyright.PENANAJrK3WrfMkA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAfoF73AQjPD
368Please respect copyright.PENANAh1WrshUla5
"Yeah, I will need the help."368Please respect copyright.PENANA3JqOUpRXOt
368Please respect copyright.PENANALGiFLhRRBD
368Please respect copyright.PENANApAREMAk7y0
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.368Please respect copyright.PENANAo6PJ6s6YZr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPVqjZn5p5M
368Please respect copyright.PENANABILL1rrSuX
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.368Please respect copyright.PENANAhuociDqc93
368Please respect copyright.PENANAeN7u7hiPHr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAjV3wBQIGvA
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."368Please respect copyright.PENANAOwfqfja0mr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAdOs42b7JoZ
368Please respect copyright.PENANAgfpiiPDUa1
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.368Please respect copyright.PENANA0clTE03Dqf
368Please respect copyright.PENANAmRUhXtLlz4
368Please respect copyright.PENANAOPgtxbqwXM
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."368Please respect copyright.PENANAcyVU6NldDV
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxnjz5fR0QI
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJXUKZ4voqK
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.368Please respect copyright.PENANAaK0jEUt7XH
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXtv7XHYKL0
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4N3i4KqG5S
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."368Please respect copyright.PENANArWiK7uNmYf
368Please respect copyright.PENANActWJkdmn4O
368Please respect copyright.PENANAzku6DU1BeM
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.368Please respect copyright.PENANAzJqt4DpbyN
368Please respect copyright.PENANA9j9QuR1a4q
368Please respect copyright.PENANAkdoHrYy2qL
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."368Please respect copyright.PENANADxjT035ExV
368Please respect copyright.PENANADbb1VzvBOY
368Please respect copyright.PENANADHuqCOr2f6
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.368Please respect copyright.PENANAzFmMwBJ9au
368Please respect copyright.PENANAnseQUQs3Jo
368Please respect copyright.PENANATYPwjxzNse
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."368Please respect copyright.PENANAVkjXEjZMvF
368Please respect copyright.PENANACoqC85bfWr
368Please respect copyright.PENANAjYzkguesjv
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.368Please respect copyright.PENANAKevScWpNu6
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJsua20Wd6z
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbRNlFjkwnn
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.368Please respect copyright.PENANABtPmWQKfXv
368Please respect copyright.PENANAztJRLwD07R
368Please respect copyright.PENANACUWyPkCmfo
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."368Please respect copyright.PENANAcurrVYhtJP
368Please respect copyright.PENANAKIzuBpoSnh
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxjD8zeAoeU
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."368Please respect copyright.PENANAEaQCLmMFIy
368Please respect copyright.PENANAPRBExkDSHa
368Please respect copyright.PENANAb5duGzgYNy
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."368Please respect copyright.PENANA6S3X8bwL1y
368Please respect copyright.PENANAI05mZSNLuY
368Please respect copyright.PENANAHoXx5ia2CN
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."368Please respect copyright.PENANAOMYbnafNAE
368Please respect copyright.PENANA9dTBqYLUo8
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXVsLqAoC3E
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.368Please respect copyright.PENANARkbA7kzgba
368Please respect copyright.PENANAkY0W8Er6Ny
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6CXhCINnFA
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."368Please respect copyright.PENANAtzqyw7lTxK
368Please respect copyright.PENANAiUo071T9wM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAaRy3kUvRds
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.368Please respect copyright.PENANAHPdktZ8vy6
368Please respect copyright.PENANAO0cFfbYDgw
368Please respect copyright.PENANAtnNTgpTyuD
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."368Please respect copyright.PENANAjLSQ220iOn
368Please respect copyright.PENANAMdxrrzQvlf
368Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1l2Kd13b1
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.368Please respect copyright.PENANATDq1fx3jzs
368Please respect copyright.PENANA1zFzZb2s6w
368Please respect copyright.PENANAlTzlIZc68M
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."368Please respect copyright.PENANAskThlbmphB
368Please respect copyright.PENANAF3lMQKTN4m
368Please respect copyright.PENANAa2IuHu4yiw
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."368Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hhPJXhiT
368Please respect copyright.PENANAfPmr32jmZL
368Please respect copyright.PENANAUz1guzAZ0f
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.368Please respect copyright.PENANAgSZVtuLE3S
368Please respect copyright.PENANApcjIB8JDwU
368Please respect copyright.PENANAwfg2ng8BnU
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.368Please respect copyright.PENANAsaXLVvjNzg
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6L8i1940Si
368Please respect copyright.PENANApiLORip0Rn
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."368Please respect copyright.PENANAncuMm94BE5
368Please respect copyright.PENANAdLltOyWYj5
368Please respect copyright.PENANA8lr0330cOp
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAIQqCZnDlDM
368Please respect copyright.PENANAimDLEHrsIR
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFPnkdRsw83
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.368Please respect copyright.PENANAfyPCLtsJ5M
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXgMeOm7Qaq
368Please respect copyright.PENANA8K1ODlfMeR
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.368Please respect copyright.PENANA9l0ngWytE0
368Please respect copyright.PENANAdjlTsahWqB
368Please respect copyright.PENANANAjKZhh2Vp
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.368Please respect copyright.PENANAttu1hK8NEi
368Please respect copyright.PENANAe1XcSNHTa1
368Please respect copyright.PENANAe6xCCuWlh4
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.368Please respect copyright.PENANAkQP2QwqDrp
368Please respect copyright.PENANAihExsMkHsN
368Please respect copyright.PENANAAXP2jqSUiQ
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."368Please respect copyright.PENANAQTePl1YcrU
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbmql8CLvT3
368Please respect copyright.PENANAmE9E89ysXK
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.368Please respect copyright.PENANAoilJEBSzHR
368Please respect copyright.PENANAT8uH7rkH4R
368Please respect copyright.PENANAkwFtiv28kB
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.368Please respect copyright.PENANAUOEqwb9GOr
368Please respect copyright.PENANArxgpmbXGjg
368Please respect copyright.PENANAyEmRR822Wa
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.368Please respect copyright.PENANAXILS0qOyi1
368Please respect copyright.PENANAyHe4PDufxA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAj9HxY3avFM
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."368Please respect copyright.PENANAWU5c8faU99
368Please respect copyright.PENANAzLQ3wUfP3l
368Please respect copyright.PENANAYOz6QYA0TV
"Point taken," I said.368Please respect copyright.PENANAlwA3tlvxzB
368Please respect copyright.PENANArWP7DTjFWJ
368Please respect copyright.PENANACdzm4LcW3B
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?368Please respect copyright.PENANAVZgyx18svu
368Please respect copyright.PENANA0OKCvIh0E3
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6exJBw8lmm
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.368Please respect copyright.PENANAVXBndyPrXc

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.368Please respect copyright.PENANAbshsM3fjEm
368Please respect copyright.PENANA5L97lrPntA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAWbURneoqZP
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."368Please respect copyright.PENANAmeLgSswuIl
368Please respect copyright.PENANAwLmcrZzxKl
368Please respect copyright.PENANAvjsUAmaohh
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."368Please respect copyright.PENANAYrZ2LEGjL0
368Please respect copyright.PENANA592qdODJ8R
368Please respect copyright.PENANARQfw51DlNk
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.368Please respect copyright.PENANAVZXzx4QGHv
368Please respect copyright.PENANAAtPitxJCnE
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbTnXfzQMbY
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.368Please respect copyright.PENANAyluJ0i1YRx
368Please respect copyright.PENANAbVnZFNvQDE
368Please respect copyright.PENANA5aJVDnoxtp
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.368Please respect copyright.PENANAbqqBFN4yjV
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFJM4fvK3OA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAAa317KSUEM
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.368Please respect copyright.PENANAWu4N1iSV8x
368Please respect copyright.PENANATB7NreY42L
368Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7PI9OA5AR
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.368Please respect copyright.PENANA2bgsprB8Vp
368Please respect copyright.PENANAQtkzhcNm6e
368Please respect copyright.PENANAANX4xSv2RI
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."368Please respect copyright.PENANAaPqRXEMI5W
368Please respect copyright.PENANA1yM99rTBpI
368Please respect copyright.PENANAF4LZliJTKR
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.368Please respect copyright.PENANABmluldm961
368Please respect copyright.PENANAWbaL4P79s5
368Please respect copyright.PENANAxWArmn5uqE
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.368Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z3gHSfq6z
368Please respect copyright.PENANAlF8aHzyS76
368Please respect copyright.PENANATK8AE7h1CO

368Please respect copyright.PENANAVttoNe9qOF

Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.368Please respect copyright.PENANAcDiMmreyiR
368Please respect copyright.PENANAuwQubXXp8E
368Please respect copyright.PENANAkmHcOmYeMM

368Please respect copyright.PENANAh8JaHdxMG8
368Please respect copyright.PENANAu8fZiXE7PV
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.368Please respect copyright.PENANA7OYqir3rxo
368Please respect copyright.PENANAatgbbZNFvl

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."368Please respect copyright.PENANAJo0saROYxE
368Please respect copyright.PENANAmpoGbXRbJm
368Please respect copyright.PENANAtu4nyY82bB
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.368Please respect copyright.PENANAwaVKNO0S77

"Yeah, she was. Then she went out, looking for Christine. I would’ve asked her to help me out, but then she went out because it’s been a while since Christine's been gone."368Please respect copyright.PENANAkMDmanmOcS
368Please respect copyright.PENANAiiWqrQNTde
368Please respect copyright.PENANAZQizDRHm7c
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.368Please respect copyright.PENANANBHWWX8uB2

"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."368Please respect copyright.PENANA2NKDQqmiVK

368Please respect copyright.PENANA4ToCNchc3q
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFIVOrM3t4z
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."368Please respect copyright.PENANAHOtjAIHa59

368Please respect copyright.PENANAhRlq7kfbao

368Please respect copyright.PENANA4MUsGkCAZN
368Please respect copyright.PENANAep4SCtwVlV
"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."368Please respect copyright.PENANAzmQ9Tcq3VK
368Please respect copyright.PENANAVCpVPPiHPA
368Please respect copyright.PENANAtXz6fwwu4u
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.368Please respect copyright.PENANAOky0RcZMUY
368Please respect copyright.PENANAOATbbMOq8O
368Please respect copyright.PENANAR97I0DoXrd
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?368Please respect copyright.PENANAch7VtPQNPG
368Please respect copyright.PENANAZpA1SWdIzD
368Please respect copyright.PENANADhv4KMbFJi
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Wofpw7FD
368Please respect copyright.PENANAotMH1ZA7M9
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqVxMXDeaRP

368Please respect copyright.PENANAfwfntmpQmO

"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."368Please respect copyright.PENANAnjmSsHlmEe
368Please respect copyright.PENANAoLcegxGg7y
368Please respect copyright.PENANA1jXMvHPA3R

368Please respect copyright.PENANASafZCTjtwk
368Please respect copyright.PENANAmaR00EfmbG
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."368Please respect copyright.PENANAvwDbOWNvXo
368Please respect copyright.PENANAUdELINr28E
368Please respect copyright.PENANA9KTtj1TqNT
"I just hope she is okay," I said. "Let’s go back to the dumpling shop, like Daniel suggested. If we’re lucky, then we’ll find her there."368Please respect copyright.PENANARQGZjAvl1o
368Please respect copyright.PENANAE7utLmMyMa
368Please respect copyright.PENANACD1UjMFxzb
Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.368Please respect copyright.PENANAMQSlAq76Gq
368Please respect copyright.PENANAgTNqvpqzta

368Please respect copyright.PENANAfPORzJgTOU
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4qHOQwbDJX
I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.368Please respect copyright.PENANAVR7V9lPLxf
368Please respect copyright.PENANAow3ndVAJxh
368Please respect copyright.PENANAuLsDuLwliK
Then why am I out here?368Please respect copyright.PENANA8eRkOttNMa
368Please respect copyright.PENANAVBSKRsO8Yd
368Please respect copyright.PENANADjIxR2Saww
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.368Please respect copyright.PENANAVdzW5pRwYa
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4QQBqVSfPN
368Please respect copyright.PENANAKqheM9BDw5
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?368Please respect copyright.PENANALcthdbAkpd
368Please respect copyright.PENANAFqW5tzqXeq
368Please respect copyright.PENANA76HSiTsZYf
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.368Please respect copyright.PENANA8eLHQejQYB
368Please respect copyright.PENANAqnnWyrPcI2
368Please respect copyright.PENANA4JU87s2nDP
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"368Please respect copyright.PENANANExp9SVSOk
368Please respect copyright.PENANAXD6FhPdFJP
368Please respect copyright.PENANAa9yonmisvr
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.368Please respect copyright.PENANAPvkJobF9YV
368Please respect copyright.PENANA47kzXv4xXT
368Please respect copyright.PENANAIR0HgoyPAG
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?368Please respect copyright.PENANAb8EUpQiJ4l
368Please respect copyright.PENANA3sgePcugZG
368Please respect copyright.PENANARrtNnEW1nN
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.368Please respect copyright.PENANArfZapWrXDw
368Please respect copyright.PENANAosYddT3CV4
368Please respect copyright.PENANA3m79XFUAEP
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."368Please respect copyright.PENANACBzgMTH22C
368Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcDzTZwXG
368Please respect copyright.PENANAEKKYxxbC2b
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"368Please respect copyright.PENANAEHX19cRngY
368Please respect copyright.PENANAKywn6ALK2A
368Please respect copyright.PENANAHZChEtyTFH
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."368Please respect copyright.PENANAfz26EL9XM0
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nm63n9m4D
368Please respect copyright.PENANAoSN9IJ2qI4
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.368Please respect copyright.PENANAYaQOeS48zE
368Please respect copyright.PENANA6lMIUeAA0p
368Please respect copyright.PENANAj5klKxQlOw
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.368Please respect copyright.PENANA2RLjGbOiz1
